There are risks involved in whitewater paddling. The section of the Gatineau where the Rendez-vous des 7 Soeurs/Sisters event will be held is a difficult one. Participation in the Rendez-vous des 7 Soeurs/Sisters implies the participant?s acceptance of the risks associated with the river and whitewater paddling.
